Hello people of the world, I want to pay my enrollment fee of $400 via Flywire and will reimburse with Naira equivalent.
Cc Texrem, imperiouxx,Lagosismyhome,oluDare01,walspring.
Thanks.
Flywire is only used for international transaction.
No one in the US can make the payment for you ( I confirmed this yesterday).
You can either try someone in Canada or UK considering how long it takes to access form A.

Brother, People have paid within the US with Flywire(i generate a coupon like the SEVIS fee payment with a 3days deadline and the payment gets delivered to school).US and Nigeria is on the drop menu but it takes longer to access form A as you rightly said.
Thanks.

The school sent it through the email and when i asked why they didn't reply, that was how i used a printed copy to go to the Embassy ,why is it going to be a problem at the POE ?...
Chapecoense:

Why are you not having the original one sent directly from your school all these while? By all means get it before ever travelling.

I wonder why people go to visa interview and kept celebrating it no documents Is asked, is it that they go with fake documents or no documents at all?

Secondly, my elder sister is sponsoring me but she don't have enough cash flow if am to use her SOA, so am planning on using my uncle's SOA and also stating him as my sponsor, please hope this won't be a RED FLAG as I don't want to go there with forged SOA as some do I guess. Also scared of VOs doubting the possibility of your uncle spending such huge amount on you an do deny people because of that.

Na my Questions be that oooooo.............SPRING 2018...........LOaDING...............

I don't what it is you mean but.. Basically when people celebrate "No Document Asked" it means the interview wasn't as tasking as expected. Most times very short. Go to the embassy with every document you think would be necessary to prove you as a genuine Student. People go with Huge files cool . Anything that can prove your point, please go with it. Also Anyone can sponsor you, Just be ready to Convince the VO why such a person is sponsoring you.

DON'T GO WITH A FORGED SOA ... DON'T GO WITH A FORGED SOA ... DON'T GO WITH A FORGED SOA ... DON'T GO WITH A FORGED SOA ...

That saved you a lot in shipping cost grin grin

However i don't know the answer to your question. If email copies are now allowed at even visa interview then why the need to dhl the i20 .. its either the Vo did not notice or maybe its allowed. I dont know. Ask the Vo directly here on another thread and they might know

Well we need answers to the question.
But I've seen where the DSO in my school printed another i-20 for me. After generating the document from the DHS website I think, he printed it out, signed and stamped it.
He could as well use e-signature and stamp and send it as pdf document.
I don't really know

See what's online

The student must have their original Form I-20 to study in the United States. Given the potential for fraud, a scanned or photocopied Form I-20 is not acceptable. SEVP asks Designated school official (DSO) not to send scanned Forms I-20 to students.

Yeah but that not enough reason.... if you get to POE and they say email version is not allowed there nothing you can say oooo. Even if you say but the VO gave me visa like that . They only say our rule is no scanned copy period .

I cannot predict for sure what they say or do at POE because i dont work there but that what stated on the offical website

Best to comply with the rules. You come too far to then been denied entry on something that you can correct within days .

Everything you need is on this thread. No need personalized emails: Oya take this:

femi312:
There is this saying that says ''If we don't fight we have failed, but if we fight we can either fail or succeed''. So forget the tuition part for now and put in some work. First, you need to decide on the course you want to study, To save you some stress start from this website http://graddecision.org/ to know the application process, So step 1) Decide on the course you want to study 2) Search for schools using a)www.msinus.com (open this website with a laptop, you should see a list of school and ranking for some of the most common courses, you can start from there b)www.gradschools.com c)www.google.com (you can just type 'msc in bla bla in the us in google' d) www.usnews.com e) www.4icu.org . 3) check up the website of the schools you find, to see the requirements. most schools will require GRE and some will require both gre and toefl . 4) Register for standardize exam and take it. You can register for gre as soon as you are ready and prepared to take the exam. Its done online at www.ets.org. You can also get all the information you need about the exam on the website. You will get adequate materials to prepare for the exam in this dropbox I created https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t9ot6d07hp1lkm7/AADL_dTihjEvNBRCBsmAcoXja?dl=0

TOEFL is an English test required by some US universities. though, some schools waive due to the fact that Nigeria is an Anglophone country.
For toefl, all you need are the speaking noteful videos in the link below, the ets toefl guide is enough to ace the exam for other sections. Just download the toefl ETS Guide from there website and the simulation test.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/45tvc3ifi8wh8sh/AACXR5j6l3nsWK8vZx5P28TVa?dl=0

As for the Tuition, if you have good results (GRE, GPA, Toefl), SOP and LOR; US schools do offer assistanship to graduate students. This can either be Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant or Administrative Assistant. Depending on the school, if you get an assistantship, your Tuition will be waived and you will also be paid a monthly stipend that can take care of your living expenses. One advice, once you shortlist schools, send emails to the grad cord of the schools and ask specific questions relating to that course and funding opportunities, be very explicit.

Lastly, there are basically 2 admission session in the US, Spring (Jan) and Fall (August). Schools admit more students in Fall, so Its advisable you plan towards Fall 2018. If you plan to resume in fall 2018, make sure you submit all your application documents before ending of Dec 2017. If you don't give it a trial, you will never know.My philosophy in life is to always do my part, with that I don't get to regret later. Above all, if you believe in God,pray to him..if not, good for you.

If you have any question, drop it here and you should get more than one good answer.
